This impressively large tapestry is based on the engraving by Erasmus Quellinus the Younger II (1607–1678) 'Eine Schlacht, in der Mitte ein Heerführer zu Pferde, den Wurfspieß in der Hand' at the Städel Museum, inventory no. 3107, object no. 3107 Z.
A pupil of Peter Paul Rubens, Erasmus Quellinus the Younger II was an excellent draughtsmen and painter, specialising in subjects of battles as well as historical events, allegorical figures and religious scenes. He also designed tapestries, for which the present work could be related to.
The influence of his master is clearly depicted in this famous scene, when we compare it to Rubens' 'The Death of Decius Mus in Battle', which was also made into a tapestry, depicting the central figure astride his rearing stallion brandishing a weapon amid a dynamic battle scene.
